The goal is to help non-native professionals improve oral presentation skills and not let communication hinder them at work. Speech AI provides non-native speakers with in-depth feedback on speech content and oral training anywhere and anytime.

My role in this project is to discover service opportunities through PESTLE and SET Analysis and design service interactions and mobile interfaces for the App.

 

Opportunity Framing

Our team started researching the macro-environmental factors on speech training through PESTLE and SET Analysis, making sure we explore the opportunity possibilities.

Interviews

To further understand the need in the speech training field, we interviewed young professionals about their speech preparation experiences.

As the result of our interview, we have validated speech training services are beneficial to students and working professionals, especially for non-native speakers. 

We gathered users' insights and defined our service's goals considering:

  • Help reduce content redundancy

  • Help capture audience interest early on and hold it throughout the speech

  • Provide different preferences for Memorization vs. Improvisation

  • Guide with different tones depending on the story hierarchy and the audiences

  • Encourage feedbacks between humans enables courteous and polite interactions

  • Research on audience background and provide real-time reaction is essential

  • Reinforce positive feedback to boost confidence

  • Provide visual feedback on body language and gestures
